In this song, Selma (Björk) describes how musical films are her escape from the bleakness of her reality, transporting her into a world of music, dance, and color.
[Verse 1]
Why do I love it so much?
What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore it?
It's just another musical
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No one minds it at all
If I'm having a ball
This is a musical
[Chorus 1]
And there's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
When you fall
[Verse 2]
Why do I love you so much?
What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore you?
You were in a musical
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't mind it at all
If you're having a ball
This is a musical!
[Chorus 2]
And you were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
When I fall
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't mind it at all
If you're having a ball
This is a musical!
[Chorus 3]
And I will always be there to catch you
I will always be there to catch you
I will always be there to catch you
I will always be there to catch you
You were always there to catch me
And there's always someone to catch me
You will always be there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
When I'd fall
